Today’s Good News
No matter what job you’re in, good teamwork goes a
long way in making everyone successful and meeting the end goals. Policing is
no different. Case in point: Thanks to the speedy response, thorough
investigation and good knowledge of individuals in their area, First
Precinct officers were recently able to make two quick arrests after an
armed carjacking.
Officer Keith Mansfield was the first officer on scene and after interviewing the victims, he
broadcast the suspects’ descriptions and last known direction of travel.
Keen-eyed Officer Matthew Robinson located the victim’s vehicle and the
two suspects in it. They took off running and though Officer Robinson lost
sight of them, Officer Joachin Okonkwo spotted them and arrested one of
the men. With the assistance of Sergeant Kenneth
Peterson and Major Crimes
Detective Jay Brissette, they were able to identify the second suspect, who Officer Alexander Laury found and
arrested a few days later. After further investigation, both men were charged
with armed robbery. Good teamwork officers!
